Diagnosis And Treatment Planning Are Essential Prior To Commencing Endodontic Treatment: Discuss This Statement As It Relates To Clinical Endodontic Management

AUSTRALIAN ENDODONTIC JOURNAL, Issue 1 2005
Ms Trudy Stewart
Diagnosis and treatment planning are essential to the practice of endodontics. Diagnosis aims to determine whether pathological involvement of the dental pulp has or is occurring. Treatment planning meanwhile, involves appropriately selecting cases, determining how difficult the treatment may be to perform on a specific individual and sequencing treatment procedures to achieve a healthy and functional dentition. In endodontic management, this may involve establishing whether the tooth is restorable and periodontally sound, the patient is able to tolerate the treatments and the clinician has the skills to perform the required treatment procedures. Careful consideration of these issues must be given prior to commencing treatment. [source]

Role Of Occlusion In Endodontic Management: Report Of Two Cases

AUSTRALIAN ENDODONTIC JOURNAL, Issue 3 2004
Dr Christine Y. Yu BDSc, Postgraduate Endodontics
The two clinical cases reported demonstrate that traumatic occlusion can play a role in the initiation and progression of pulp and periradicular inflammation. The symptom of persistent pain did not subside after the commencement of endodontic treatment. Traumatic occlusion was identified in both cases to be the main cause and hence occlusal adjustment was performed. This resulted in the gradual resolution of the symptoms. The findings suggest that occlusal trauma is often overlooked in the diagnosis and management of endodontic diseases. [source]

Endodontic management of a fused mandibular third molar and distomolar: A case report

AUSTRALIAN ENDODONTIC JOURNAL, Issue 1 2010
Ali Zeylabi dds
Abstract Careful management of fused teeth is essential as abnormal morphology can predispose a tooth to caries and periodontal disease. In this paper, a rare case of successful endodontic management of unilateral mandibular third molar fused to a distomolar is reported. Caries was removed from the tooth complex under local anaesthesia. The pulp chambers of the third molar and supernumerary tooth were accessed and the root canals were prepared using rotary instrumentation and copious irrigation with 2.5% sodium hypochlorite. Obturation using the lateral condensation technique with gutta-percha and AH26 sealer was subsequently performed. A 1-year recall showed a good treatment result. [source]

Strategies for the endodontic management of concurrent endodontic and periodontal diseases

AUSTRALIAN DENTAL JOURNAL, Issue 2009
PV Abbott
Abstract Endodontic and periodontal diseases can provide many diagnostic and management challenges to clinicians, particularly when they occur concurrently. As with all diseases, a thorough history combined with comprehensive clinical and radiographic examinations are all required so an accurate diagnosis can be made. This is essential since the diagnosis will determine the type and sequence of treatment required. This paper reviews the relevant literature and proposes a new classification for concurrent endodontic and periodontal diseases. This classification is a simple one that will help clinicians to formulate management plans for when these diseases occur concurrently. The key aspects are to determine whether both types of diseases are present, rather than just having manifestations of one disease in the alternate tissue. Once it is established that both diseases are present and that they are as a result of infections of each tissue, then the clinician must determine whether the two diseases communicate via the periodontal pocket so that appropriate management can be provided using the guidelines outlined. In general, if the root canal system is infected, endodontic treatment should be commenced prior to any periodontal therapy in order to remove the intracanal infection before any cementum is removed. This avoids several complications and provides a more favourable environment for periodontal repair. The endodontic treatment can be completed before periodontal treatment is provided when there is no communication between the disease processes. However, when there is communication between the two disease processes, then the root canals should be medicated until the periodontal treatment has been completed and the overall prognosis of the tooth has been reassessed as being favourable. The use of non-toxic intracanal therapeutic medicaments is essential to destroy bacteria and to help encourage tissue repair. [source]
